Aaron Rodgers’ future with the Green Bay Packers is an underlying story on Sunday in the NFC Championship.
Rodgers’ play during the 2020 season excludes no sound about Jordan taking over Love as the starting quarterback of the future, as the 37-year-old looks like he can still play for about 20 years. According to Spotrac, Rodgers is under contract for the 2021 season with a potential before 2022.

The Packers full-back played the speech for the second consecutive season and his future Wednesday in the conference title.
“I always try to keep up, especially this year, and enjoy the moments,” Rodgers told ESPN.
“I hope there are more opportunities, but I do not know. I mean, I really do not know. Those things are beyond my control. My future is a beautiful mystery, I think. The present is such a gift to be able to stay in the moment and to have gratitude that you’re in this situation again, and are with the guys and have fans in our stadium and maybe snow in an NFC Championship game.I’m definitely going to enjoy these moments, and just have to do not worry about what happens in the queue. ‘

He added: “I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead these guys again, to play the way I want to play, to become a bigger leadership role. These things are very important to me. But all those other things … are things I’m just not going to focus on because it’s a beautiful mystery to me that happens in line, but there’s going to be a time that we’re facing that future, and right now I’m just going to enjoy the gift. ‘
Rodgers said there is no more pressure than usual to enter the game.
